You have two prime issues; you have nothing without Acid or Divine, thus putting you at the awkward position of healing some quite relevant nasties. That leaves you with CEFS-MP. Good enough for Alkiliths/Ichors/General div healers; Good Tree slayer for Azzagrat. Depending on what your character is, you may wish to prioritize Pos/Neg depending on whether you're a ranger/sd or something else; in a tie I would recommend Pos, as that allows you to have a slaadi weapon for Limbo that allows you to whack the neg healers.

It depends on the amount of DB greatswords you have available for crafting if you have 3 I'd set the two main ones and keep a spare and a selection of gems to craft per run depending on where you are going as it only takes a few seconds to pop to the alchemist and do this. DB greatswords provide a slight challenge due to the 4 elemental and 2 exotic damage types they have.

My build is from forum here: Endgame monk (Monk31/4ftr/5wm - Salamander human) My primary concern are Hell runs. So i have no problem use that third DB sword to Hells. During my demi tour i try to find/trade fourth DB GS and then i craft it to Abyss. For hells the third DB GS would be this? CEFS-MP? and which elements on fourth DB GS for abbys? Thanks

My thoughts on this would be primarily to focus on the non-crittable 'big boys' of the Abyss Balor (superior heals fire) & Marilith (superior heals acid) anything you can crit is likely to go away quite fast or in fact be dispatched by something else. Avoiding Divine on the exotic side might not be a bad call if you are expecting multiple encounters with paragon Molydeus The abode of (Harthoon comes to mind at this point).

If you read the rest of Raj's earlier reply that suggested 1) and 2); you also read the followup to "do not have min weapon? use a 50 one instead, or get a DIS weapon and use X." - else, yes, CEFS-MP would be my recommendation; your Orthon/Baatori/Ichor for Hells primarily, but having secondary uses for much of Abyss, Limbo, Abos, 40-60 zones.
Fourth weapon would probably be AEFS-NM ? or simply something like a Fire+X lvl 50 wep, something along those lines for Erinyes/Thalassi/Puddings/Paragon Kytons/Rachugons/Gelidarchs... but honestly just play the character and when doing so you'll find out "damn, I wish i had x for this mob." And that's how you'll know what your 3rd, 4th, 5th or whatever weapons should be; people have different preferences on weapons and key mobs to kill. Heck, you might even have a couple lvl 50 weps and if you find you never use a couple of them, toss em back in the bank. Having a F+M lvl 50 on standby for emergency "i forgot to buff a key weapon for a mob i forgot/didn't know yet" is a good idea.
Now, people have differing opinions on what they prefer, find what you like.

that is exactly what i want to do. I just have third weapon and ask what to use, becouse i dont have lv 50 or DIS weapon.
CEFS-MP this sound like a good set
Thank you

no L50 weap? just ask ingame, i'm sure most people have multiples of even "good" L50s like greatsword in the bank.
the point of min or 50 isn't simply to have "another" crafted weap to use, but rather it's to have "an other" crafted weap to use, that doesn't have the same array of damage types as db/abyss weaps. min/50 has less dmg types than DB, so (again, re-read OPs) so it's the standard to use for the least-common but definitely-required healer mobs that pop so rarely that for the other 85% of the time you just use 2-3 db/abyss weaps (depending on type--for example gsword w/ 4 ele types as discussed above, you can easily get away with using 90%+ of the time in hells and not even need to swap between ces/afs like most weap users)
tldr ask ingame for a L50 and re-read to follow close OP instructions. it's not easily replaceable by another DB weap
